Chapter 82 – Chapter 13: The Right to Rule

When waking up from a deep sleep, In-gone usually had to face the ceiling or wall . However, when his eyes opened this time, the first thing he saw was long green hair that tickled his face and a beautiful face .

Green eyes blinked as In-gong stared at them sleepily . He almost screamed, but the other person was faster .

‘Master!’

Green Wind laughed and embraced In-gong . Instead of hugging Green Wind, In-gong moved his eyes . Beyond Green Wind’s hair, he saw an expensive looking ceiling .

‘And . . . ’

In-gong tried to breathe and think while Green Wind covered his body . He lifted his free left hand and patted Green Wind’s back as he was about to speak .

‘Wait . ’

There was something strange . Only his left hand was free . In-gong had no problems staring at his right side because Green Wind was hugging his left . He turned his head to the right and raised his upper body .

"Master, are you okay now? Have strength . ”

Green Wind was in an actualized state, so she had weight . There were some questions about the conservation of mass, but In-gong had other worries at the moment . Instead of digging deeper, he glanced at Caitlin who was holding onto In-gong’s right hand .

Expensive-looking ceiling and room . . . and a huge bed .

In-gong was dressed in clothes that were easy to peel off and so was Caitlin who was lying beside him .

After carefully untangling his hands from Caitlin’s, In-gong looked back at Green Wind sitting on his thigh .

"Explain . ”

Green Wind quickly nodded at his request .

"This is the lycanthropes’ palace . Master has been bedridden for four days . ”

“Four days?”

“Four days . I have been looking after you for four days . Staring blankly is one of my specialities . ”

Green Wind said with a laugh . In-gong now knew why Green Wind was staring at him . It was because Green Wind had been lonely .

In-gong hugged Green Wind very tightly . Green Wind made a sound but was faithful to her usual instincts when being praised .

"Umm, I don’t know why but I feel good . Continue . ”

In-gong smiled at Green Wind and pushed her out of his arms slightly . He patted her head and said,

"Please continue explaining to me . ”

"I understand . As I said, this is the lycanthrope palace . The reason why Master and Caitlin are lying on one bed is to increase the healing effect of both of you . ”

"Healing effect?"

It was surprised by the unexpected story . Green Wind pulled back and looked In-gong up and down .

"How much does Master remember?”

“Uh . . . Gerard ran away?”

In-gong closed his eyes and searched through his memories . He remembered that Gerard had lost his shoulder to Lightning .

'Carack caught me and Green Wind protected me . ’

Then his memories became confusing . He seemed to recall Felicia’s crying face, but he couldn’t remember it properly .

Green Wind said,

"Felicia gave Moonlight Extract to Master and Caitlin . As Chris ordered, she split it into two and something unexpected happened to Master and Caitlin’s body due to the Moonlight Extract . ”

In-gong quickly activated the status window and skills window . Not long after, he was able to capture the changes in the skills window .

[Protagonist Body]

[Special Passive Skill: Moonlight Core]

'Second . . . aura heart?’

He closed his eyes . He realized that he could feel a moonlight core deep in his chest . His flow of aura was now different from before .

In Knight Saga, the Moonlight Extract was a miraculous herb that could revive someone if they had a single breath left . That alone was awesome, but there was another effect?

In-gong focused his attention on the flow of aura for a while . Although there were two starting points, his aura didn’t seem that different . Both flows became one during the cycle . It seemed to create a much faster and stronger flow than before .

‘Dual cores?’

Was it like a two engine jet fighter?

That wasn’t the only mysterious point . The nature of his aura had changed somewhat . To be precise, a new strength had been added to his aura .

It wasn’t unfamiliar . In fact, it was a familiar aura .

In-gong turned to Caitlin while Green Wind opened her mouth again,

"After eating the Moonlight Extract, Master and Caitlin were caught in a big light and exchanged life force . Just like Master and I, Master and Caitlin are also connected . Of course, it isn’t quite like me . ”

In-gong nodded inadvertently . He definitely felt Caitlin in his aura and In-gong felt himself in Caitlin .

"Chris said that the closer the two of you were, the more vitality would be activated . If you hold her hand again, you will know . ”

There was no reason not to, so In-gong grabbed Caitlin’s hand and he could see what Green Wind had said was true .

“Ohh . ”

He noticed it the moment he touched her hand . It wasn’t just a simple feeling but a reaction . The flow of aura from the Moonlight Core became stronger like it had been influenced .

Chris seemed to know this which was why he had laid In-gong and Caitlin on the same bed .

“The others? Was anybody else injured?”

He gently lay down his hand, which was holding Caitlin's, to make it more comfortable . Green Wind shook her head .

“No . Master and Caitlin were the most badly injured . Chris is already up and limping around . Felicia cried a lot, but she wasn’t hurt . ”

"I'm glad . "

He didn’t need to ask about Carack, Daphne, Karma and Delia .

Conquest Knight .

Famine Knight .

In-gong was reminded of Conquest, the white woman . She had said that In-gong was her only hope .

Had she been the one who brought In-gong to this world? Why had she picked In-gong? What was she looking for?

Of course, he didn’t feel that resentful . If the white woman had really called him to this world, there would be many reasons . So, he didn’t mind that much .

However, he put that on hold . He couldn’t talk properly with the white woman, so it was useless to worry about it now .

'In a sense, it is also cool . ’

There was a reason .

One day, he had opened his eyes in a game or game-like world . There had been a reason for In-gong to enter the world of Knight Saga .

Yet, he didn’t know that reason yet . However, that didn’t change the thought in his head that it was slightly cool .

‘And . . . ’

In-gong turned his gaze back to Caitlin . Although her complexion was a little pale, her face was very calm . The flow of aura he could feel through his hands was very smooth .

Things were changing after In-gong came into his world .

In-gong was going to stop the Day of Massacre . Of course, the biggest reason was In-gong’s survival but that wasn’t all .

After getting to know Chris and Caitlin, he wanted to prevent the lycanthrope subjugation . However, by blocking the Day of Massacre, he would also save Felicia and Daphne .

It was a story separate from the white woman, Conquest, War, Death and Famine . This was this and that was that .

In-gong didn’t intend to allow the tragedy from Knight Saga to replay in the Demon World .

‘The conclusion is the same . ’

It was like his thoughts when he had first woken up in the world .

It was no different from the sword duke’s and Chris’ words .

He needed to be strong .

He would become strong enough to get rid of all the dangers that came . Then he would be able to solve all problems .

It might be an ignorant and simple idea, but it was true . It was just like the fight against Gerard . He was able to repel Gerard because he had raised his abilities steadily . If In-gong’s power had been lacking even a little bit, a completely different result would have been created . Not only In-gong but Chris, Caitlin, Carack and all the others would have lost their lives .

In-gong put some strength into his right hand that was holding Caitlin and he smiled mischievously .

‘Protagonist . ’

Like a protagonist, he would become stronger . He would break the planned tragedy and make a happy ending .

“Master, what are you thinking? That expression is sneaky . ”

Green Wind asked with narrowed eyes . Just as a wishful thought passed through her head, someone came and visited .

“Oh, you’re awake?”

“Chris hyung . ”

It was Chris who had showed up . He was wearing leather as always and Green Wind quickly disappeared .

Chris chuckled .

"She is really shy . ”

‘It’s not like that . ’

Green Wind pleaded in a small voice, but In-gong spoke to Chris instead . He moved into a sitting posture and glanced at Chris .

“Is Hyung okay?”

"Of course . Are you really fine?”

Chris asked, sitting down on the chair next to the bed . Chris made the huge chair look cramped .

“Somewhat . I heard the story of the Moonlight Essence from Green Wind . Thank you . ”

It was a herb that could only be obtained once in 100 years .

After In-gong’s words, Chris jumped up from his chair and ruffled In-gong’s head with a laugh .

“I wanted to thank you . I am alive because of you . And I also got to see the legend of the Moonlight Extract . ”

Chris’ gaze shifted from In-gong to Caitlin . It was obvious he was referring to the Moonlight Core .

Chris leaned back in the chair and fixed his expression .

“It is unknown if Gerard is currently dead or alive . ”

"Unknown?"

The expression was somewhat ambiguous . Did he not simply escape?

Chris pressed a hand against his temple and responded,

"The tracking troops found parts of Gerard’s lower and upper body . Like charcoal breaking down . . . It was like that . ”

In-gong recalled the last Lightning that had struck Gerard . At that time, his left shoulder had been shattered .

"He should be dead because his body below the waist was cut off, but . . . I can never be sure . I will continue the search until I am convinced that he is dead . ”

In-gong also agreed . He didn’t think that Gerard was dead .

As In-gong’s expression became serious, Chris laughed .

"Don't worry so much . He might have survived with no lower body, but what about the upper body? His left arm was entirely shattered . He will be in the worst condition . I’ve also prepared a way to deal with his strange technique . ”

He wasn’t simply reassuring In-gong as his eyes were bloody . He seemed to have prepared something .

Chris changed the topic .

"Can I ask about the effects of the Moonlight Extract? Master Bruce said that you have the Moonlight Core and Caitlin has the Starlight Core . ”

"I don’t know yet . It seems amazing though . ”

It had literally become a dual core . Perhaps the synergistic effects would be beyond imagination . The synergy wouldn’t be 1+1=2 but maybe three or four .

‘And . . . ’

In-gong stared at Caitlin . There were a few times when he had wanted to experiment on with Caitlin . Hopefully, new training methods would be born .

"Hmm, okay . i am anticipating it . ”

Chris finished his story and stood up with a grin . He moved his gaze to a higher point as he hesitated for a moment .

"It seems to be that time . ”

“Time?”

What did that mean?

Chris stared straight at In-gong .

“Shutra, you will now meet someone . My advice, don’t ever panic . Stay calm and you will amaze her . ”

“Chris hyung?”

“Come . ”

Chris stepped back and someone else entered for a visit . A sharp man wearing a military uniform opened the door . Instead of entering the room, he waited in the front of the door and a woman entered .

In-gong knew straight away who she was .

'The 4th Queen! Elaine Moonlight!’

Queen of the lycanthropes, Chris and Caitlin's mother!

Wearing a blue dress, she could literally be a version of Caitlin in her twenties . She looked exactly like Caitlin except that her hair was black like ebony and her body was very alluring .

Her face looked to be only in the mid-20s, so if she stood next to Caitlin, they would seem more like siblings than mother and daughter .

As she walked over to the bed, she looked down at In-gong with Chris’ blue eyes and In-gong realized why Caitlin had a cold look despite her pure nature . Elaine’s expression was freezing cold itself .

“The 9th Prince, Shutra Agnus . ”

“Yes . ”

Elaine spoke and In-gong replied . Then she laughed like Chris and suddenly embraced In-gong .

“Thank you, it is because of you that Chris and Caitlin survived . If it hadn’t been for you, it would have been a really big deal . ”

She didn’t hold onto In-gong but tapped his back a few times before releasing him . She touched his cheek like he was her child and said,

"I’ve heard a lot about you from Chris and Caitlin . There are many impressive stories . It has been a long time since Caitlin has praised someone so much . ”

Her expression was cold but her tone was sweet . In-gong felt just as confused as the first time he met Caitlin .

Elaine in Knight Saga had literally been the enemy . She had been hostile to Zephyr and in the lycanthrope subjugation, she had been a blood-crazed beast that showed why she was the queen of the lycanthropes .

However, the Elaine in front of him was friendly .

“Thank you . ”

In-gong answered calmly . Elaine laughed like his gratitude was funny and went to stand next to Chris . She gazed at Caitlin who was sleeping while holding In-gong’s hand and then turned to In-gong again .

"Okay, this is enough for a greeting, so I’ll say it bluntly . ”

In-gong gazed at Chris with questioning eyes and he just gazed back . Elaine, sitting between the two of them, looked straight at In-gong .

"9th Prince Shutra Ignus, do you have any thoughts about becoming the demon king?”

This was the question from the queen of the lycanthropes .

In-gong’s eyes widened as Elaine approached him . Instead of asking again, she waited for In-gong’s answer .
